Shinde, speaking with the media at the Nagpur airport, took a jibe at his rival and former CM Uddhav Thackeray without mentioning his name, Shinde said those counting 'rokad' (money) while sitting at home during COVID-19 have no right to criticise Modi.

Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar said Raj Thackeray's support to the ruling BJP-led alliance in Maharashtra will not affect the opposition coalition MVA's election prospects. A tiger has turned into a lamb, he quipped.

"When Raj Thackeray visited Delhi, it was evident that he will go with the BJP. But we did not expect that a tiger will turn into a lamb so soon. Will a fighter like Raj Thackeray become a slave?" Wadettiwar asked, speaking to reporters, as quoted by PTI.
